Premium springs are coated in maintenance-free high cycle powder to protect from rust and damage, which typically lasts up to five times longer.
TORSION SPRINGS
Contractor grade springs are oil tempered and will eventually
rust and wear out over time and require biannual maintenance.

Premium hinges are made of a thicker 14-gauge steel, which means no cracking or breaking.
HINGES
Contractor grade hinges are made of thinner 16-20 gauge steel,
causing them to be flimsier and more prone to breaking or snapping.

![](https://www.precisiondoormi.com/southeast/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/PGD-Operator-Reinforcement-Brackets-1.png)
Premium operational brackets are long steel bars that reinforce the operator. They distribute the force from the top panel and reduce the risk of it ripping out.
OPERATIONAL BRACKETS
Contractor grade brackets are smaller square steel bars with a much higher risk of ripping out because the force is concentrated into a small area.
